Why did Britain pursue a policy of salutary neglect towards her American colonies?
Britain pursued a policy of salutary neglect toward her American colonies because Britain wanted obedience from them and without restrictions, the colonies would flourish. Salutary neglect is an undocumented, though longstanding, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep the American colonies obedient to Great Britain.
